The strength of the Press lay in its introduction of 19th-century English revival types into Britain during the 1930s. In its latter years the Press was innovative in embracing new opportunities, however, the economic recession of the 1980s forced its closure in 1981. This history of the Kynoch Press is enriched by personal accounts from surviving staff and also contains detailed listings of the types held by the press at every period ".

Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo, 96 pp, ills. From the blurb: "Is typography an art or a science? The graduai tendency of che word 'typography* to mean 'typographic design', and the emergence of the typographer as a professional in his own right, form the subject of this stimulating book. Looking at the work of many well-known practi tioners in England, Germany, France and the USA, Ruari McLean examines the development of typography, starting in the seventeenth Century with the Mechanick Exercises of Joseph Moxon, progressing to the influences and work of the great German typographer Jan Tschichold and his contemporaines. Based on the Sandars Lectures given by the author at the University of Cambridge, How Typography Happens is well illustrated with unusual and significant images, mostly unfamiliar. It is a useful and important account that will appeal to anyone interested in the graphie arts and the history of the book." Very Good.

Cloth, 4to, viii, 270 pp, ills. From the blurb - "The essays collected in Puzzles in Paper examine the past, present, and future of watermark study, ranging through the disciplines of art history and conservation, bibliography, musicology, and philately. The evidence provided by watermarks and paper stocks is used for a rich variety of purposes: to determine the dating, chronology, and authenticity of musical and literary composition and artistic production; to conceptualize the printing process of a series of incunabula; and to examine the effects of European politics on the paper supply for early printing in the New World. Other essays focus on the development and application of new technologies for the reproduction of watermarks, such as phosphorescence imaging, DYLUX, and digital imaging. Finally, another set of essays describe the use of the World Wide Web as a medium for the construction and dissemination of searchable and robust electronic databases of watermarks. The International Conference on Watermarks, held in Roanoke, Virginia in 1996, attracted scholars and other professionals from seven countries, generating an interest and enthusiasm that carries over into the present volume. The authors and attendees represent a remarkable assemblage of scientific and humanistic expertise: chemists, engineers, experts in digital photography, book dealers and collectors, librarians, archivists, art historians, musicologists, stamp collectors, bibliographers, literary scholars, cartographers, and historians."

Fryer; Watermarks in Rembrandt's Prints: The Use of Watermarks to Study the Prints of an Artist, by Nancy Ash & Shelley Fletcher; Watermark Evidence and the Hidden Editions of Thomas East, by Jeremy L.
